Insight from Guru Travel, About Travel, Wiki and Adventures By Disney.
Many folks visit Walt Disney World, every year, and are happy with their vacation ! However, there are many families, maybe like yourself, who would love to experience more than just one culture or the same place over and over. Yet only want to try such an adventure, if they know they will get, the same great service they have come to experience with the Disney name !
There are many advantages in choosing to travel with Adventures By Disney (ABD). To start, they’ve done most of the needed planning for you. Taking the stress away from the countless hours it may take you, in planning out the same tour/adventure ! AND … It’s a GUIDED TOUR !
Adventures By Disney provides group guided family vacations to various domestic and international destinations. It is jointly managed between Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and Walt Disney Travel Company … Units of The Walt Disney Company.
On an ABD vacation, guests are taken on expeditions that often feature activities designed for families and kids (or ’Junior Adventurers’). Two Disney-trained Adventure Guides (Cast Members) look after a group of no more than 44 guests on an Adventure, and are described as being ’part concierge, guide and storyteller’.
When you travel to worldwide destinations on an Adventures By Disney vacation you do much more than sightsee. You experience firsthand the people and cultures of the places you visit—and you do so with the service, VIP experiences and unique local opportunities you can only expect from Disney.
Adventures By Disney Audience:
As you might expect, the Adventures by Disney tours are ideally suited for families with children. Disney requires that participants be at least four years old, but suggests that six years old is a more appropriate minimum age. The tours include activities specifically for children. But, adults without children would enjoy the itineraries as well.
Popularity of Adventures by Disney:
ABD began in 2005. Though many folks have yet to hear of Adventures By Disney, let alone experience one of its adventures, the concept of ABD took off immediately with its many Disney followers. Many repeat guest, trying out new adventures ! ABD is not for the “last minute planner”. It’s popularity has many itineraries sold out, a year in advance !
You’ll want to include the back of your Travel Professional. Like any cruise or land tour package you’re considering, you want someone who knows the “ins & outs” of your vacation, along with their INSIDE connection with your Tour Operator, such as ABD.

Curiously, the Adventures by Disney Paris trip does not include a visit to Disneyland Paris. And there are no Florida or Japan itineraries, so there are no opportunities to go to the Disney parks in those locations.
The China trip does include a stop at Hong Kong Disneyland, however. And the Hollywood and Disney Resort itinerary is a park enthusiast’s fantasy vacation. It includes backstage tours of Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure. And, in an Adventures by Disney exclusive, guests can tour the hallowed Imagineering headquarters.
